OVERLAND PARK, KS --  Johnson County improved to 4-2 on the season Tuesday night, and in the process swept the season series against Hesston College.  JCCC took control of the game early, then cruised to an 81-50 victory.  JCCC outscored Hesston 41-18 in the first half.   Offensively, JCCC shot an impressive 50 percent from the floor, and 87 percent from the line, but it was the Cavaliers defensive pressure that set the tone for the night.  JCCC forced 27 Hesston turnovers, and held the Larks to just 29 percent shooting from the field.
